Why be good?  Does it earn your way to heaven?  It doesn't, so why be good?

Patience is needed:

1. To endure suffering
2. In loving others

1. How has God been patient with you?

2. Where is your patience currently being tested?

3. Where do you need to be patient with others?

We want peace, but struggle with anxiety.  There is a prescription for peace.  It is the peace of God.

An Independence Day message by Gary Franke

Message based on the 23rd Psalm.

Titus 2:1-8.  In our own families and in the church, we all have responsibilities.  When we do our part, it works.

Jesus made a few good investments.  Mark 1:16-25, 29-31, 38-39.  

We are to do the same.  We choose carefully, lead by example, enter their world, and go into the world.

Being a mom is hard work.  It is also a labor of love.

A Message based on 1 Thessalonians 2:7-13 (ESV)

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives.

It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.

God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

- 2 Timothy 3:16-17(NLT)

We apologize for the poor sound quality.  We were having technical issues.

Jesus was perfectly obedient.  He is our example.  Yet, we struggle.  Obedience is taught, learned, and expected.  It brings great blessings.
